Is Green Plains Outta Gas?

Todd Becker, CEO of Green Plains Renewable Energy, the sixth largest ethanol producer in the country, discusses what's next for his company with "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer.

Cramer’s never been a big fan of the ethanol stocks, but he was willing to recommend Green Plains Renewable Energy on one catalyst: an Environmental Protection Agency’s mandate that boosts the amount of this biofuel in a gasoline blend.

Sure enough, it happened. The EPA called for a 5 percentage point increase of ethanol in the blend, to 15 percent from 10 percent, for vehicles made after 2007. A decision has yet to be made for cars made between 2001 and 2006, but that hasn’t gotten in the way of Green Plains’ rally off the news.

Still, Cramer thinks there’s room left for this one to run, especially with the EPA’s pro-ethanol stance. And the chart for the stock portends a potential breakout, too. But before making the call, he wanted to check in with Green Plains CEO Todd Becker. Watch the video for the full interview.
